Relax or shoot pictures while Photo Director Pro™ and your website do all your proofing, sorting, selling and re-orders to your increased customer base.


 

Photo Director Pro™ V6.0 is the most powerful and feature packed Professional Photographer's online gallery and sales software on the world market today - it was designed by a professional photographer who listened to the myriad complaints made by photographers' customers from all over the world.

  • The whole Photo Direcor Pro™ software system was developed BY professional photographers FOR professional photographers.
  • Photographers don't have to buy expensive software - they can simply rent usage of a very powerful, but personalised system that their customers view as their own personalised web site.
  • Pro Photographers who want an easily maintained, fast and E-Commerce enabled web site with their trading name, personal pages and pricing can have it rapidly, cheaply and without all the normal development costs.
  • Photographers can upload, change, replace or remove images on their own website from anywhere on the planet where there is Internet access and images are available to customers and their friends and relatives within minutes of upload.
  • No software needs to be installed on a photographer's computer - nothing gets out of date or corrupted; all photographer access is via "J2EE" secure web access.
  • Pro Photographers no longer need to prepare valuable time consuming pages of images, nor keep them up to date nor remove older images as the site becomes too big.
  • Even if a photographer tries to upload duplicate image Picture IDs (as allocated by your digital camera) the Photo Director Pro™ Upload Wizard system will warn and prevent duplication.
  • An image may be added to and used in multiple "events" or "albums" without conflict.
  • The photographer can look through his/her images and flag outstanding photos to be displayed in the "Portfolio" section of his/her website.
  • Photos flagged for "Portfolio" viewing can be changed as often as you wish.
  • Uploading images is easy - after entering the name of a shoot or event, images are uploaded one at a time by the photographer or a junior assistant and the Photo Director Pro™ Upload Wizard takes care of all thumbnail generation, sizing, cataloguing, sorting and presentation.
  • Proofs of an event or shoot can be viewed very quickly after the shoot by interested parties and stakeholders such as all agency staff, wedding guests, and absent relatives.
  • Even if the pro photographer already has his/her own website, the photographer specific pages (such as contact details, "about us" info, home page and services offered) can easily be incorporated into a new dynamic Photo Director Pro™ web site designed to be individual and look like your own.
  • The Photo Director Pro™ Upload Wizard automatically senses vertical (Portrait) format and horizontal (Landscape) images during upload so you can easily group each type during later sorting after the upload.
  • Photographers can sort the order in which images will be displayed. As an example he/she might want all "Landscape" format images together and all "Portrait" format images together.
  • The photographer can nominate how many images per page will be shown when uploading to your own site by a simple "select" button.
  • Images can be left on your website for up to one year for re-orders by clients.
  • Photographers and their customers can search for events or albums or even images, by date and original time of shoot or even by which camera was used.
  • Events and shoots dating back many months are easy to search for and find.
  • Photographers can set their offered print sizes, prices and currency preferred on the personalised website. These will then be reflected to all customers and visitors.
  • Customers can buy prints on line using the photographer's own personalised sizes and prices.
  • With your own E-Commerce website, your customers can generate business while you're out doing what you do best - photographing.
  • Photographers can maintain their digital camera Picture IDs or any other ID system with an absolute guarantee that there will be no duplicates uploaded and you will ALWAYS be able to identify images ordered by your customers.
  • No more incorrect prints ordered because of confusion over Picture IDs or due to transcription errors.
  • All uploaded images are perfectly safe from theft. The users can't easily download or email your images from the site. The IP address of anyone trying to is captured to a database. As well as this, if anyone gets round the system, you have the option when uploading to apply a watermark, which prohibits printing.
  • The photographer can see how many times an album or event has been visited online and can even see how many times each image has been viewed as an enlargement.
  • Because your own website is a hosted systems (SAAS) no software ever has to be loaded or upgraded by you the photographer or your clients.
  • Genuine pro photographers can order and use their own personalised E-Commerce website free for 30 days to see if they like the way it works.
  • There is no capital outlay - all payments are subscriptions so they are fully tax deductible in most countries.
  • Your own website stores full statistics on site visitors and their location and much, much more for you to study and use in marketing.
  • Due to the fact that your own website is a hosted service, all software upgrades, maintenance and security management is done in one place by the software designers - it's always up to date.
  • Time consuming and often confusing phone orders and mis-orders using incorrect identification of images are a thing of the past.
  • The costs to rent your own photographer's client site are quite low and start at US$35.00 per month.
  • The photographer can cancel site rental at any time and all images and related data will be made available. If you've registered a domain name, it remains yours.
  • The photographer has available a 40 alpha description of each album or event for easy identification. The album will then feature a Name or Description (such as Alec and Alma's wedding 11-11-2006) and a date uploaded, however photographers and clients can still search by date shot, date and time shot or Picture ID.
  • The Photographer can "login protect" some albums and make them available ONLY to clients on a predefined list, such as advertising agency staff. The default is to allow public viewing.
  • The cost of preparing and producing CD albums, proofs and sending CDs and proofs to each stakeholder is a thing of the past.
  • If photographers prepare their images according to our instructions the resulting full size images are of outstanding quality and load quickly when viewed on the Internet.
  • Images, albums and events uploaded during the 30 day trial period are all available to be viewed by a photographer's clients if the photographer proceeds to continue rental of his/her own personalised domain based website from us.
